If they have the ground and neutral wire connected together in the breaker box in the trailer it will trip a GFI outlet (works fine with generator or non GFI outlet). I had to separate them on mine to stop from tripping the GFI outlet

Yes, if only it were that easy........
They somehow tied the neutral and ground together in the wire connecting the two outside lights. I wasn't about to remove the inner walls to try and find the problem, so I disconnected the rear light and still had the front one to use.
What a PITA.

J178REDKnowing ED he already has started a Pouch Sheet with a diagram of each side, interior and exterior plus floor, roof, and tongue and doors. After he goes though his list they will make copy's for future reference , as no one has such a complete list....
HAVE THEY CALLED US YET ? THEY HAVE!!!

racerdude2054Doesn't look like the tongue is going to be going anywhere or breaking on that trailer. Do you feel that the dragster lift is strong enough without tieing into the floor/frame for support as well?
May 30, 2017, 05:03 PM
1320racerYes, the dragster lift is built by T&E and has been used in their trailers for at least 15 years.

Gonna be a shame to leave it outside lol
May 30, 2017, 06:31 PM
1320racerI agree. Thanks Bob

HSMITH1039Make sure you put some carpet or towels in your saddles to prevent marking the dragster front wheels......

TD3550Ya T&E along with Book. 10 minutes away from me here.

1320racerGood idea, thanks Howie. you've hauled a dragster a door car for awhile, Anymore more suggestions?

Mike BeckEd, are those LED lights recessed into the ceiling? How thick are they? I really hate the stupid florescent lights in my trailer and would gladly get rid of them for something else!

Old SGGreat looking trailer Ed. How is the exterior aluminum fastened to frame work. Is it .040 or .050 aluminum. Lighting is awesome.
